If you’d like to make a trip “up north” for a few days or longer and combine it with great classical music at the Lakes Area Music Festival, you’ll be part of the particularly busy summer weekends in Brainerd. To start your planning, you could call the Brainerd Lakes Chamber Welcome Center, or visit the Brainerd Lakes Chamber Lodging site at http://explorebrainerdlakes.com/lodging/.

If you are interested in something besides a resort lakeside cabin or conventional motel, we recommend a unique bed-and-breakfast Whiteley Creek Homestead Bed and Breakfast. Contact them at www.whiteleycrk@aol.com or 218.829.0654 – it’s located about 5 miles southeast of downtown Brainerd and frequented by out-of-town concert goers.
